The Royal Palace.
King Alfonso D.
Greyscent, the highest authority in Flevance, was drenched in sweat, watching his kingdom turn into a sea of fire.
He frantically shouted, “What’s going on?
What in the world is happening?!”
“Who is it?
Who is attacking my country?!”
“Where’s Aquila?
Get him over here!”
King Greyscent’s fearful roar echoed through the palace.
Several servants rushed to find the Captain of the Royal Guard, Leonardo Aquila.
The strongest warrior in this country, and the most loyal to the King!
Known as the’Spear of Flevance,’ he commanded the nation’s strongest army, the Royal Guard.
At this moment, the Royal Guard was already heavily defending the palace.
A tall man in pure white armor watched with a solemn expression as the soldiers in the distance gradually collapsed and the citizens fled in a frenzy.
His heart sank continuously.
He had just learned who the invading enemy was: the legendary Rocks Pirates!
“Aren’t they adventuring in the New World?
Why would they come to West Blue?”
He knew that today’s battle would be anything but easy.
“Captain Aquila!
The King summons you!”
A servant ran over in a hurry, out of breath.
“Alright!”
Aquila adjusted the greatsword on his back and walked towards the palace with a serious expression…
“Where are the Marines?
Where are the World Government agents?
Where have they all gone!”
Before he even reached the door, King Greyscent’s roar could already be clearly heard.
“Crash!”
A pristine crystal goblet shattered on the ground, and as the fragments scattered, a tall figure appeared at the doorway.
King Greyscent looked up, a hint of calm in his eyes.
“Aquila, you’re finally here!
I can only rest easy when I see you.”
“Your Majesty!”
Aquila knelt on one knee, performing a knight’s salute.
He said gravely, “The enemy attacking us this time…
is, is the Rocks Pirates!”
“Your Majesty, you should escape first!”
“I will buy you time!”
Aquila’s voice was low, filled with determination.
Upon hearing this, Greyscent’s body suddenly went limp, almost collapsing to the ground.
The golden crown, a symbol of his status, fell to the ground, rolling a few times before coming to a stop.
A nearby servant quickly supported Greyscent, preventing him from making too much of a spectacle.
“It’s over!
It’s all over!”
Greyscent, disheveled and in tears, showed no trace of his former imperious kingly demeanor.
“No, there’s still hope!”
“Bring me the Den Den Mushi!”
“Purupurupuru…”
“Purupurupuru…”
…Click!
After a long while, the Den Den Mushi was finally answered.
“Hello, hello, sir!
Sir!
The Rocks Pirates are invading Flevance!
We request World Government reinforcements!”
“We can’t hold on much longer!”
The Den Den Mushi displayed the facial features of CP0 agent Nockel, even perfectly mimicking the cold sweat on his forehead.
“Greyscent, I have already reported to the World Government.
Reinforcements will arrive soon.
Hold on a little longer.”
With that, Nockel directly hung up the call.
He gazed at the fiery scene in the distance, like a purgatory, his pupils trembling uncontrollably.
What a joke, that was the Rocks Pirates!
Unless the high-tier combat forces of Marineford were all deployed, there was no chance of victory!
Although he had reported to the Gorosei, reinforcements…
were merely a comfort to the dying King Greyscent.
After all, this country had already contributed enough ‘Amber Lead’ to their World Government!
That fellow Greyscent, knowing the dangers of Amber Lead, yet driven by greed, he disregarded the lives of his people and continued to extensively exploit the mines…
When he reported to Gorosei Mars, the ‘God of Environment’ known as Mars, that adult’s instructions could not have been clearer.
Now, the mine was almost depleted, and further mining would be extremely difficult.
This country no longer had any value…
“Damn it!”
“This guy is definitely just humoring me!”
Greyscent angrily slammed the desk in front of him.
He then, unwilling to give up, dialed another number.
“Purupurupuru…”
Click!
This time, the call connected quickly.
A hopeful expression appeared on Greyscent’s face.
“Is this Marine 52nd Branch?”
“This is Flevance, I am Greyscent.
We are under pirate attack, please send reinforcements as soon as possible!”
The Den Den Mushi mimicked a purple-haired figure, and a deep voice came from within.
“Which pirate crew is it?”
“Rocks, it’s the Rocks Pirates!”
The Den Den Mushi’s eyes instantly widened.
Immediately, Marine Rear Admiral Zephyr, who had just been demoted to the Marine 52nd Branch for training, spoke solemnly, “Hold on, we will reinforce you immediately!”
With that, the Den Den Mushi was instantly hung up, and communication ceased abruptly.
Greyscent’s mood hadn’t changed at all; he was still in a state of panic.
If even the World Government wouldn’t help, he didn’t believe a Marine branch could come to his aid.
“Your Majesty, you should still go out and avoid the limelight!”
Aquila advised again.
“No, my wealth is here, my women are here, this is my country!
How dare mere pirates!”
Greyscent was becoming somewhat deranged.
Suddenly, a violent noise erupted outside the palace!
The members of the Royal Guard were powerless to resist; upon contact, blood splattered, and they fell to the ground.
“The terrifying guy is here!”
Aquila suddenly drew his greatsword from his back, his expression serious as he stood in front of Greyscent.
“Gurararara!”
“Is that all you’ve got?
That won’t stop me!”
Whitebeard’s Murakumogiri danced like the wind.
Not a single member of the guard in front of him could withstand his monstrous strength.
Everyone he struck was sent flying back, bleeding profusely.
“Is this…
a monster?”
The guards were terrified, but they still gritted their teeth and held on.
In a few movements, there was no one left standing in front of Whitebeard, bodies lay strewn across the ground.
As blood slowly seeped into the floor tiles, a tall figure burst through the window.
Aquila, wielding his greatsword with an unstoppable aura, cleaved down at Whitebeard from mid-air!
“Damn pirates!”
“This is our land, how can we let you run wild!”
A powerful blow struck Whitebeard’s sword hilt.
Whitebeard held his sword with one hand, the terrifying force causing the pristine white floor tiles beneath him to explode, and spiderweb cracks spread amidst the rising dust.
Even his tall frame was pressed down slightly.
“It’s Captain Aquila!”
“We’re saved!”
Not only the Royal Guard, but also many fleeing citizens, had hope rekindled in their eyes.
They gazed up at Leonardo Aquila, the Captain of the Royal Guard, who was like a god of war, hailed as Flevance’s strongest warrior.
But the true situation was only clear to Aquila himself—
His strongest attack, descending from the sky, was caught by the white-bearded man in front of him with just one hand.
And he looked relaxed and at ease, as if he still had strength to spare.
“Gurararara!
Is that all you’ve got?”
Newgate grinned, his arm muscles suddenly bulging, and Murakumogiri was slowly raised inch by inch under the immense force.
Aquila felt the terrifying power coming from the greatsword.
He gripped the sword with both hands, veins bulging on his forehead, but he still couldn’t resist the upward trend of the greatsword.
“Clang!”
Whitebeard exerted force suddenly, and the sound of metal clashing rang out.
The greatsword, forged from fine steel, was no match for Murakumogiri.
In just one encounter, a chip appeared.
Aquila used the force to retreat a hundred meters before he could barely stabilize himself.
He looked at his split tiger’s mouth, his eyes filled with shock.
This guy was too strong!
Completely an opponent of a different caliber!
“Even…
Captain Aquila can’t do it?”
“How is that possible…”
